{something mailed and painted} penelope belle's announcements

I am so glad I painted and did most of the design work for Penelope's announcements before her arrival. We finally stuffed and mailed them last week. I decided to address them before she arrived, too. This was genius.

I ordered Louisiana stamps online because we are pretty sure she was made in New Orleans. If you don't order stamps online yet, do it. Shipping is only $1.25, the selection is endless, and there is never a line or number you have to wait to hear called.

I usually don't praise my work so glowingly, but I think these are my all time favorite announcements, ever. I can't wait to design more invitations for her over the years. I did forget to add a line, with love from Johnny and Katie. I hope I remember that next time.

About Me

A sweet hello to you, readers. I'm Katie, and in my shop I go by katie scarlett. I'm a lifetime artist who enjoys filling up every last page of my sketchbook with quotes, notes, and pretty designs. During summer, I'm a full-time artist and poet; during the year I'm a full time high school English teacher. I have a box of poetry and stories I've yet to publish under my bed. I enjoy taking photos, baking, and styling my hair all sorts of beautiful. I'm married to the love of my life, and we hope to travel the world over and back together, forever and ever. For more about me, please check out the rest of my blog. It chronicles my year of not buying a single new thing in 2010:) And I've posted lots of artful and crafty diys.
